I created a mail merge file of addresses which got saved as an access file,
now when I try t open the file it says that it doesn't know which file
created it, when I look for access in my programs I can't find access.
How can word create a file in acess and then not find the program, more
importantely how can I access my mail merge database

If you don't have Access on your computer, you can usually still get
data out of an Access database (i.e. an .mdb file) by using Word or
Excel. In Word, start a mailmerge and select the Access file as the data
source; in Excel, use the Data|Import External Data command.
